Well that answers the question for the quake that happened today in NY and NJ

[@ladycharlenegrace8023]

The Mississipi ran backwards! That's how big that one was 200 years ago. Church bells rang in Charleston. It was so long!

WE NEED YALL TO TALK MORE ABOUT THESE ON THE NEWS I LIVE IN EAST TENNESSEE AND IM CONCERNED

[@GetCrazyXD]

Used to live in Memphis, TN. Only 20 mins from the Mississippi River. Glad I moved to AZ now. Hate how this doesn't get talked about because its not California..

[@k.o.1174]

How do you like Az

[@stanfordsweird4607]

No ones gonna talk about the wasach falt... Ok.....

[@eseitafuna802]

For real we just got a 5.7 earthquake

[@underground9260]

The thing is, that we don’t know how big of an earthquake can hit Utah. The last major earthquake that hit the new Madrid zone was a 6.8 in 1895 and a 6.4 in 1843 but since then, it’s been quiet. And seismologist believe that the fault line gets a 6.4 or greater every 50-80 years but a 7.7 or greater is every 300-500 years. Thoses earthquakes go as far back at 1699 when the French explorers were near Memphis, they experience strong shaking but before then, we don’t know. They just guess. And the new Madrid quakes make the Mississippi run backwards from some time.

@@underground9260 I'm watching them they've been active today. You're correct all activity should be reported. Many report what they want.

[@brendenshea1312]

@@underground9260 it hasn't been quiet. We had a large earthquake just about 12 years ago. I live 5 minutes across the river from STL. And we have had many others we feel.

BOLD OF YOU TO ASSUME CASCADIA DOESNT EXIST

[@k.o.1174]

That one will take everything west of I 5

[@agquaproductions9361]

Everyone knows that already though. Most people are ignorant to these.

[@banjoist123]

One of the networks aired a show decades ago in which they predicted the top 10 most likely natural disasters to occur. New Orleans was 1st (prescient). Number 2 was the New Madrid fault. When the earthquake hit there 200 years ago, population was scarce and cities hadn't really built up yet. Today, tens of millions of people live along this fault. I grew up in northern Illinois, hundreds of miles from the fault and yet I was awakened one night to feel this soundless moving of the house for just a brief moment. I found out the next morning it was a mild earthquake along the New Madrid over 600 miles away.

If an earthquake strikes the East Coast especially in NYC,Philadelphia or Boston,it's going to be worse than California earthquakes.

[@ladycharlenegrace8023]

Um. Y'all are missing a bunch of fault lines on that map!

[@CyberspacedLoner]

hopefully the USGS have adequate funding to map most of the really dangerous faults

[@jackiebre5065]

We get them and up state New York to we had one early this morning . Ever thing shook

[@angelfrommn5876]

Anyone living near the Mississippi River needs to move more than 200 miles away from it. Don’t move to California!

[@johnrottler4000]

And no word about the Meers Fault in Oklahoma and the many Faults of the Basin and Range Province and the Cascadia Subduction Zone and the fault that produced the 1886 Charleston Earthquake and the Great Rift Zone in Idaho

[@jonelyackett]

3.8 in Buffalo, NY

[@Kristopherf1]

Not a word about Cascadia & Juan De Fuca, oops!

[@spacealienrissley]

Wisconsin is the best State.

I do not get this: I posted this video on my KZbin Channel because I thought the information was important. I have OVER 100,000 views BUT the original here has ONLY 219 views ... What is up with that??? How did this happen??? ABC, give me a call and lets talk viewers LOL:-)

[@alexthesamoan]
